GENERAL QUESTIONS
Are JoyFuel bars suitable for vegetarians and vegans?
Most of our bars contain milk protein and collagen of animal origin (particularly our Cookie Dough, Cookie Cream, Hazelnut Dark Chocolate, and Peanut Caramel flavors), which means they are not suitable for vegans or vegetarians. However, we have developed two new vegan recipes that we have just launched and which are available exclusively at Monoprix stores and on our website.
Are JoyFuel bars suitable for people with gluten intolerance?
Our bars are all gluten-free
Are JoyFuel bars suitable for people with wheat allergies?
Wheat is not listed among the ingredients in our recipe. However, since wheat is present at our manufacturing facility, we cannot guarantee its absence in trace amounts in our bars.

When should Joyfuel bars be consumed?
Need to satisfy a small hunger pang? Want to treat yourself? Whether for an afternoon snack, breakfast, at the office, on a hike, or even to fuel a workout, Joyfuel bars will become your smart everyday snack! Joyfuel bars are an excellent alternative to classic chocolate bars or other snacks if you get hungry between meals.
Where can I buy Joyfuel bars?
Joyfuel bars are available individually in hypermarkets and supermarkets (near the checkout, next to the chewing gum), as well as in the sports nutrition and/or diet sections. They are also available on our website and on Amazon in packs of 12. We've also created a discovery pack that lets you try all the Joyfuel flavors.
I am pregnant, can I consume Joyfuel bars?
There are no contraindications for pregnant women.
If you have any doubts, we advise you to consult your doctor.
Is it a complete meal? Is a bar a meal replacement?
No, Joyfuel bars are not meal replacements; their nutritional composition is not designed for that purpose. They can be incorporated as a partner in your diet and are an excellent choice for your workouts or as a snack at any time of day.
Are Joyfuel bars suitable for athletes?
Yes, Joyfuel bars are suitable for athletes. They are rich in protein thanks to the 20g per bar.
Protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass and normal bones. Therefore, our bars are perfectly suited for athletes.
A varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are recommended for good health.
I'm not athletic, can I still eat Joyfuel bars?
Absolutely, Joyfuel bars are suitable for everyone and fit perfectly into a varied and balanced diet. For a typical adult, the authorities recommend a reference intake of 50g of protein, representing 10% of total energy intake (8400kJ/2000kcal). (1g of protein = 4kcal). Our bars contain an average of 16 to 20g of protein and are therefore "high in protein," with the protein content representing at least 20% of their energy value.
Why consume protein?
Protein is a macronutrient, just like carbohydrates and fats. It contributes to maintaining and increasing muscle mass, as well as maintaining normal bones. This is why it is an essential component of our diet.
Are Joyfuel bars suitable for children? From what age?
Joyfuel bar recipes are not suitable for children. The protein amounts are designed for adult sizes. Since children's and adults' nutritional needs differ, we do not recommend giving Joyfuel bars to your child.
PRODUCT QUESTIONS
What protein is present in JoyFuel bars?
Our bars are rich in protein, thanks in particular to the different protein sources. Joyfuel bars contain a majority of whey, followed by collagen and soy protein.
What is the purpose of protein?
20g of protein is what's in a Joyfuel bar, which is the same as in 3 eggs (see Ciqual table). Whether you want to supplement your protein intake for nutritional reasons, athletic goals, or to satisfy a small hunger without consuming too much sugar, Joyfuel bars are for you! We need 50g of protein per day. With our bar, you'll get 40% of the recommended daily intake (reference intake for a typical adult: 8400kJ/2000kcal).
What is used to replace sugar?
Sugar is replaced by maltitol, a polyol derived from wheat or corn starch. Its sweetening power is greater than that of sugar. It is non-cariogenic, its caloric value is lower than that of sucrose, and it causes a smaller rise in blood sugar. It is tolerated by diabetics when considered in the calculation of total carbohydrates. Do not hesitate to contact your doctor or the French Diabetes Federation for further information.
What is the shelf life of the products?
We guarantee the preservation of organoleptic qualities until the best before date. You can refer to the best before date directly on our packaging. This date indicates that the product is best before this date but can still be consumed after.
How many calories are in the bars?
One bar (55g) contains between 207 and 214 kcal (depending on the variety) — enough to last between two meals!
What are the allergens?
Our range of "classic" bars contains allergenic ingredients such as milk and soy. We also have a range of vegan bars which contain only soy.
However, as our manufacturing site processes other foods (including wheat, gluten, sesame seeds, nuts, peanuts, eggs and other dairy products), there may therefore be traces of these in our products.
As a precaution, check the packaging (indicated in bold) of our bars.
What is the difference between a JoyFuel bar and a classic chocolate bar?
Joyfuel bars are a nutritious, low-sugar, convenient and delicious snack.
Joyfuel bars are a real alternative to classic, very sugary chocolate bars (17 times less than the average product on the market).
Why 55g?
The protein bars are 55g to guarantee a 20g protein content. This dosage provides an optimal balance between taste, texture, and nutritional value. With Joyfuel, we aim to offer a product that combines nutrition and convenience to support a dynamic lifestyle.
What is the purpose of collagen?
Collagen is a source of protein and also has texturizing functions, notably giving our bars a soft texture.
Can I eat several a day?
There is no maximum quantity, but please note that due to the presence of polyols (nutrients), excessive consumption may have a laxative effect. Furthermore, our bars should be part of a healthy and balanced diet. They can also be easily enjoyed as a snack.
Do Joyfuel bars contain sucralose?
Only vegan Joyfuel bars contain sucralose.
Are Joyfuel bars Halal?
Our Joyfuel bars are Halal certified.
